Setting out Herringbone pattern

[Andy Allen]

You could always frame the wall or floor makes life easier for the cuts....
This is one I did last year..

Just do what I do when setting out and guess . It always works

Measure room in mm at precisely 23 centigrade, take latitude and longitude readings and times by length and breadth of room mm and divide by 23, find square root then calculate the curvature of the earth and take note of time add 4 then divide by 2, this will give you starting point!

Did you ever work for a technical dept of an adhesive company because those are the questions they asked me when I said their adhesive had failed.

Very nice.
It's a dog tooth finish on the top they're after.
I still cannot see the logic in starting in the middle & hoping for the best. Goes against everything I was taught in setting out properly. Surely there's a better way than starting in the mid point & hoping to avoid little pieces?
I'll keep the border technique in mind for future jobs, looks really smart that. Nice choice of tiles too 🙂

Dry lay and a tape measure or staff Jim...not hope for the best 😉

Ping chalk lines diagonal corner to corner, check for square, then staff out is what I'd be doing, simple and easy!

Takes a bit of thinking about but once you get going it's easy. Be VERY precise about your 45 cuts..it only takes one dodgy cut to upset the lot
